Wins/Losses vs Talent

Since 2015 (as far back as 247 composite team rankings go) Petes wins against talent better than what the Huskies had at the time were:

@ USC 2015
Stanford 2016
@ Oregon 2016
UCLA 2017
Oregon 2017
@ UCLA 2018
Stanford 2018
USC 2019

Losses against worse talent:

@ Boise 2015
Cal 2015
Utah 2015
@ Oregon 2018
@ Cal 2018
Cal 2019
@ Stanford 2019

We do not play anyone else with more talent this year besides possibly in a bowl game.

Went into this with idea that he has lost more bad games than won good games but the plain stats show it to be relatively even. With this in mind it definetly points more directly to the fact that recruiting is obviously the biggest factor in winning games.

    I would like to see us come off a bye and beat Shittingham and the Mountain West Cadets, but I doubt we have any pride left.

    Just start Sirmon and Nacua and Chin and get the rest of this shitshow over with.

    I know TSIO but it would be fun to get into the Holiday bowl and play Michigan as we have them to start next season and again in '21. Would set up for some good games potentially

    I think we have the most talented offense in the conference. USC is close, but we have a huge upgrade at QB. The offense should be #1 in the PAC 12 rather easily.

    We might have the most talented offense in the conference, but we have the worst offensive coaching. The Cal and Stanford games come to mind as baffling, and the lack of halftime adjustments against Oregon resulted in us pissing the game away

    Good thing we have a head coach who prioritizes recruiting so highly!

    Problem is that half of the talent is waiting on the Sr scrub class to graduate
